The St. Louis Park Police Department is recruiting interested citizens to become Block Captains. Are you unsure if your block is organized? Contact Community Outreach Officer Erin Nordrum at (952) 924-2661 or email enordrum@stlouispark.org to see if your block is organized and for further information.

Many of St. Louis Park's 35 neighborhoods are represented by an organized neighborhood association. These groups can rally residents together to solve a problem or voice an opinion on a special issue. They can also hold neighborhood get-togethers, organize park clean-ups, or share services (trading home maintenance for child care, for example). Many neighborhoods publish newsletters listing upcoming events and neighborhood news.

Call Breanna Erickson, Community Liaison, at (952) 924-2184 or email berickson@stlouispark.org to find out whether your neighborhood is represented by an association, or if it isn’t, how you can organize one. You can also visit your neighborhoods webpage to see if it is organized. If you don't know your neighborhood, find it by visiting myNeighborhood.
